Berkeley eyes expansion of alert system for construction projects, traffic advisory portal

The city of Berkeley is planning to expand its website that lists closures and delays on city streets and sidewalks to include all public works projects and private construction, and to develop a system to alert residents of projects ahead of time. 

City Councilmember Brent Blackaby proposed the changes at Tuesday’s City Council meeting, where the council decided to have city staff begin brainstorming on how it can be done.
